Wigan Warriors - Potential Favorite to Win

Wigan Warriors will be hailing in confidence and winning the RFL Challenge Cup Final against Huddersfield Giants. In the Super League fixtures, Wigan Warriors have been defeated by Huddersfield (32-22) and Hull FC (31-22). Even in the Challenge Cup Final, Wigan can generate opportunities when they are not in control of the game. Jai Field, Bevan French, and Harry Smith are all capable of creating something out of nothing. They’ll be up against a physically strong Cas squad that can stretch defenses and score points at whim when things go their way. As a result, rather than overall measures of success, this may be all about who can seize opportunities when they arise. Naturally, Wigan’s cup triumph might influence the game. After such a triumph, it’s usually difficult to step up your game.

Expected Lineup for Wigan Warriors

French, Bibby, Thornley, Marshall, Singleton, Powell, Mago, Isa, Farrell, Bateman, Ellis, Smith, Parrington, Havard, Byrne, Shorrocks, Field, Miski, Halsall, O’ Neill, Nicholson
